Grab Your Gear and Hit the
Mountain!

Get ready to ride! Destineer and
developer Bongfish have announced that Stoked, the open-world, backcountry
snowboarding video game exclusively for the Xbox 360, has gone gold and will be
shipping on February 24. Developed in conjunction with world-renowned
snowboarding movie creator Absinthe Films, Stoked offers five huge, open-world
mountains, dynamic and changing weather patterns, the participation of X Games
champion Travis Rice as well as some of the most respected names in the
snowboarding community worldwide.

Features:

Five Gigantic Real-World
Mountains: Leave worn-out resorts behind and travel the world in search of the
ultimate back country location. Explore five world-renowned summits. Discover
new drop points by helicopter, bail out and experience more than 45
square-miles of open terrain on each peak.

Dynamic Weather and Environments:
Every day the snow and weather conditions change on each of the mountains
featured in the game thanks to a dynamic weather and time of day system. Snow
accumulates on mountain surfaces, changing the riding experience, opening new
paths, and building new trickable features and challenges. Different weather
conditions offer different experiences and riding challenges. Choose where,
when, and in what conditions you’d like to ride!

Seamless Multiplayer: Invite your
friends to ride with you in instant drop-in multiplayer! While riding together
you can select custom helicopter drop points, create competitive or
cooperative challenges, or call out tricks for members of your posse to pull
off as you snap their photos. When you’re ready to get serious, go up against
other boarders on Xbox LIVE online entertainment network in sponsored events
to build your fame.

Style Crafting: As you develop
your style, the animation system will adapt to how you play, and the other
riders on the mountain will emulate your moves! But doing tricks isn’t the
only way to convey a sense of style. Thirty of the industry’s top gear
manufacturers, clothing brands and international magazines have joined forced
with Destineer and Absinthe to help you build your career. As your legend
grows so will your stylistic choices.
